Their
2013 EP - Road to Ruin, an independent
release allowed the band to test their skill in the studio and capture their
live energy on tape. Enjoying the recording process they quickly regrouped, finding
their feet with the debut album, Autonomic
landing in 2014 and saw it voted in the 2014 top 10 Hard Rock releases by Heavy
Music Magazine.
In
2016, the band’s next album Ascendancy
was released to a rapidly expanding fan base, but unfortunately the band was
hit with the mother of all asteroids. They needed to find a new singer and the
search began…
Ascendancy showcased an uncompromising
band allowing the creative juices to flow as guitarist Raff Iacurto, drummer
Leon Cadden and bass player Darren Staite continued to work on new material as
they searched for a new vocalist. The universe was kind to The Dirty Earth. Enter Tenille Rogers. She quickly learnt the songs
and made them her own. The band successfully toured the Ascendancy album from May to December, making 2016 the most
successful in the bands history to date.
With Tenille
at the mic The Dirty Earth are set
to reach new heights. A sensational vocalist who can belt out a melody with the
best of them. Sultry bluesy overtones and gospel of soul in her veins have her
gaining new fans with every show. Raff
flicks earth shaking riffs off his fingers, having honed his sonic storms up
and down the East Coast in legendary band Thumlock. His unmistakable sound and
riffs make him the envy of many a guitarist. Darren, lays down dirty, monster,
grooves that thunder and roll like a hurricane, as solid as they come and
locked into the drummer like a match made in heaven. Behind the kit is Leon, a
machine of a drummer. This guy is often quoted as one of Australia’s best and
it’s not hard to see why as he continues to push the band out to the edge live
and the same goes for in the studio.
The Dirty Earth’s appeal has stretched
beyond their ability to put together rockin’ songs, reaching audiences far and
wide that are rediscovering their love of classic rock music but looking
for an original band that can deliver retro vintage blues rock with a modern
twist. This band are the real deal, seasoned muso’s
who have been around the block, with their best yet to come.
2017 sees The Dirty Earth’s launch themselves into the stratosphere with the release of their third studio album titled ‘Aurora’.

tour-de-force that never outstays its welcome, and is up there with any retro
rockers on the world stage”
